The name of Fermín López could be about to trigger a big debate at FC Barcelona. Why? Despite the 21-year-old La Masia graduate, recently renewed until 2029, proving to be a very useful piece for the team, the lack of continuity in Hansi Flick's system, being a luxury impact sub with sporadic starts, could start to generate speculation about whether the Huelva native might warrant embarking on a new adventure at another club.
Now, it seems that one of the 'big guns' in the Premier League, currently reshaping their sporting project with a new coach, is closely monitoring Fermín López's situation at Barcelona and would be willing to make a very attractive financial offer to swiftly secure the services of the El Campillo native. This team, which has already shown interest in another La Masia asset like Frenkie de Jong to bolster their midfield, seems determined to incorporate the '16' of the Barcelona squad in the upcoming summer transfer window.
Manchester United wants to 'seduce' Barcelona with a big offer to sign Fermín López
It is rumored on the website 'Fichajes.net' that Manchester United could launch a bid for Fermín López. The 'Red Devils' are said to be considering offering around €100 million to secure the signing of a player who, initially seen as an option to reinforce the midfield not only in the short term but also in the medium and long term as a potential successor to Bruno Fernandes.
Now, it remains to be seen whether FC Barcelona, in the event of receiving such an offer for Fermín López, will be swayed by such a lucrative amount that would bring significant profit for a player from the youth academy. However, it is clear that this would be a decision that should be carefully considered.
It is worth noting that, despite Manchester United's interest, other 'big' European clubs are also interested in Fermín López. Moreover, parting ways with a player who, besides being ingrained in the Barcelona spirit, is a committed asset and usually delivers when called upon, would not be an easy task.
At this point, it would need to be weighed whether Barcelona is willing to let go of a versatile player who can operate in the attacking midfield area, bringing a lot of intensity to the Blaugrana attack and being a goal-scoring option with his runs into the box and accurate shooting from medium and long range, qualities highly valued within the Culés squad.
